Never Was At All

D G D A D G D They say I'm getting older and my hair is turnin' grey A They say I should be slowing down, give it all away D G D Living like a gypsy doesn't bother me at all G D A D And I'd sooner be a 'has been' than a 'never was at all' D G D Now, I could've been a shearer and I could've been a vet A Could've been a lot of things, of this much you can bet D G D A man can sit there hangin' like a picture on the wall G D A D But I'd sooner be a 'has been' than a 'never was at all' G D Oh, Id sooner be 'has been' than a 'never was at all' A All my life I had a go, really had a ball G D G If you don't climb the ladder, mate, then you can never fall D A D And I'd sooner be a 'has been' than a 'never was at all' D G D A D G D When I look at that old suitcase and I think of how it was A The bad times and the good times, hey, and we did it just because D G D I know I had to try it and today I'm standing tall G D A D Cause I'd sooner be a 'has been' than a 'never was at all' D G D Now, you won't reach the finish line if you don't ever start A You'll never live and you'll never love if you don't have a heart D G D So don't just sit there whinging mate, it's no damn good at all G D A D And I'd sooner be a 'has been' than a 'never was at all' G D Oh, Id sooner be 'has been' than a 'never was at all' A Give it everything I'd got, really had a ball G D G If you don't climb the ladder, mate, then you can never fall D A D And I'd sooner be a 'has been' than a 'never was at all' G D A D And I'd sooner be a 'has been' than a 'never was at all' G A D Oh laydee oh, laydee Oh, laydee
